Summoning the Peak of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 192 Decisive Battle at Hulao Pass

Chapter 191: The Battle of Hulao Pass

"The area of ​​the three north-central counties is more than twice as large as that of Yanmen, but the total population of Han people here is less than [-]. There is a lot of idle fertile land that no one cultivates, and many valuable resources have not been developed. This is a treasure. !"

"If the three counties can be developed, even millions of immigrants will not be a problem. If the three counties are used as a springboard, it will be much easier to recover the Hetao in the future."

Although Qin Hao's tone was light, the strange color flashing in his eyes showed the excitement in his heart.

Everyone present was already stunned by Qin Hao's shocking plan, and even Wang Meng was surprised.

This plan may seem time-consuming and labor-intensive, but if it is successfully implemented, the possibility of retaking the Hetao will indeed increase a lot.

"So this time Ben will return to Guangwu, not only to accept the imperial court's reward, but the most important thing is to discuss the immigration of the three counties with the envoy. During this time, I hope Mr. Wang Meng and everyone can protect the three counties for Qin Hao. Everyone... "Qin Hao agreed to the crowd and said sincerely, "Please."

"I would like to die for the young master!" Everyone said in unison.

This time, Qin Hao did not plan to bring more people when he returned to Guangwu. The three counties were still unstable, and a large army was needed, so Qin Hao only brought Mu Guiying and nearly a hundred guards.

Yanmen, Guangwu.

After the settlement of Dai County, Qin Wen returned to Guangwu with the main force of Yanmen, and did not go to support Huangfu Song.

Qin Wen's original plan was to join Huangfusong after completely suppressing the Yellow Turbans in Daijun, but now Huangfusong is only facing 25 Yellow Turbans, while the Luoyang court has to face Yanzhou's million Yellow Turbans. Song is much bigger.

The Han army was in Lu Zhi's department in Yanzhou. Seeing that the Yellow Turbans were rushing to Yanzhou in all directions, they dared to stop there, and directly led all the troops to prepare to retreat to Hulao Pass.

Huang Chao also expected that Lu Zhi would run away, because when the army of millions of Yellow Turbans arrived, Lu Zhi would not be able to escape even if he wanted to run.

Huang Chao set up layers of ambush, preparing to wipe out Lu Zhi's department to vent his hatred, but the original perfect plan was detected in advance by one person, and he was Cao Cao.

I don't know if Cao Cao guessed it by himself or if there is gossip, but since he already knew the Yellow Turbans' ambush plan, Cao Cao, who was still loyal to the big man at this time, naturally wouldn't sit back and watch Lu Zhi's plan.

Cao Cao told Lu Zhi of the Yellow Turban ambush plan, and the two decided to give Huang Chao a counter ambush. In the end, the Han army led by Lu Zhi cooperated with the Yanzhou family alliance led by Cao Cao to defeat Huang Chao, and then successfully led the army back to Hulao. close.

This counter-ambush battle was the third major victory after Huangfu Song and Qin Wen after the Yellow Turban Uprising. Although the victory was not as great as the previous two, it also caused 10 casualties to Huang Chao's troops.

In this battle, even Huang Chao was almost killed by the heroes of the Cao and Xiahou families. If Zhu Wen hadn't sacrificed his life to save him, Huang Chao might have been shot dead by Xiahou Yuan.

Huang Chao's subordinate Meng Kai challenged Xiahou Dun, but was picked and killed by Xiahou Dun in ten rounds, becoming another unfortunate person who did not even show his attributes after the two sons of Temujin and Sun Kewang.

After the ambush failed and his strength was greatly damaged, Huang Chao did not dare to move lightly and waited for the arrival of other troops, but after Zhang Jiao, Xiang Yan and others arrived one by one, Yanzhou calmed down instead.

But everyone knows that Yanzhou has become a powder keg, and there is a possibility of explosion at any time, and now it is just the tranquility before the storm.

The reason why the Yellow Turbans didn't fight immediately was that they were dispatching all the food and grass they had taken from the aristocratic family to Yanzhou to ensure the safety of the food route.

However, the transportation of tens of millions of stone grains and grass cannot be completed in a day or two. Around the Yellow Turbans, there are tens of millions of people as the foundation, and it will take a month or two to move.

And the last two months is the final preparation time for the Han Dynasty and the Yellow Turbans.

Lu Zhi at Hulao Pass has 11 soldiers and horses, while Cao Cao's Yanzhou family coalition forces only have [-] left. Even if there are [-] soldiers and horses in Hulao Pass, they will definitely not be able to stop the Yellow Turban Army with sufficient supplies and no worries. , The disparity in strength is too great.

Therefore, the Luoyang court decided to let Qin Wen stabilize Yanmen, and then lead the army directly south to Luoyang, and then go to Hulaoguan Hui and Lu Zhi.

Of course, Qin Wen was not the only one recruited by the imperial court this time. Ding Yuan, who had entered Jizhou to fight, was also recruited.

Others include Dong Zhuo in Hedong, Liu Yan in Zhuojun, Liu Yu in Beiping, Liu Yao in Qingzhou, Tao Qian in Xuzhou, Gongsun Zan in Liaodong and so on.

In addition, there are Yuan Shao, Yuan Shu, Sun Jian and other powerful teams from various places.

The Luoyang court was already looking as if it was going to fight to the death with the Yellow Turbans at Hulao Pass.

Therefore, this time Liu Hong sent Zhang Rang to Guangwu, and the reward was only one of the purposes. The most important thing was to urge Qin Wenwen and Qin Hao to quickly lead the army to Luoyang to defend Hulao Pass.

In Liu Hong's mind, although Qin Wen's Yanmen Army was small in number, it was a true elite, the most elite army of the Han.

He fought two consecutive victories, wiped out more than [-] enemies in total, and suffered less than half of his own casualties (Qin Wen exaggerated casualties), which is the proof of strength.

How could Liu Hong abandon such a powerful force? Hulaoguan is the most suitable stage for Yanmen to really play.

……

"What did you say?" Qin Wen Huo Ran got up and looked at Hao Tong, the county chief, and said solemnly, "This time the court's messenger came to announce the decree is Zhang Rang?"

"Yeah!" Hao Tong also said with some doubts: "My lord, why did Your Majesty send Zhang Rang to announce the decree this time?"

"It seems that His Majesty is really in a hurry, even Zhang Rang has been dispatched!" A strange look flashed in Qin Wen's eyes, and he said lightly: "Although I Qin Wen can't understand what Shi Changshi does, this group of The eunuch can't be offended either. Prepare yourself!"

Hao Tong sighed in his heart, just as the lord still had to succumb to the lewd power of the Shi Changshi, but he knew how much his lord hated the Shi Changshi.

"Master, give..." Hao Tong hesitated, "How much?"

"Wan Jin!" Qin Wen said lightly, as if it was not his own money.

"Wan Jin?" Hao Tong exclaimed.

Qin Wen nodded, and then felt that something was wrong, he gritted his teeth in distress: "It seems to be less, fifty thousand gold!"

"Fifty thousand?" Hao Tong showed a crying expression and said, "My lord, the cost of rebuilding Yanmen Pass is huge, and our finances are not sufficient!"

"If these dead eunuchs stabbed in the back, delaying the repairs and transporting prisoners of war, the loss would be more than [-] gold." Qin Wen said helplessly, "Call Hao'er, haven't the three counties been recovered? , let him come back to accept the reward!"

"promise!"

Qin Wen seemed to remember something again, and said to Qin Jian below, "Fourth, go to Yanmen Pass yourself!"

"Ah?" Qin Jian was taken aback and asked, "Why?"

Qin Wen hesitated for a moment and said, "I don't worry about handing over Yanmen Pass to others!"

"Got it, big brother!" Qin Jian did not doubt that he had it, and said with a smile: "You can rest assured that Yanmenguan is handed over to me!"
